Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General Deep gnome barbarian, which path shall I follow?

Halo, my name is Tav, I'm a deep gnome in perfect dark purple. I have 10 in Strength, 16 in Dexterity, 14 in Constitution, 10 in both Intelligent and Wisdom, 14 in Charisma and a long smooth larva beard. To further develop my career, I suppose I should pick a path of some smelly animal. Since I was hoping to find a path of minotaur to precisely reflect my dangerous physical characteristics, which path I got recently surprisingly shockingly acknowledged that was not exist for no good reason, I have now to pick some less fantastic beast to be my totem. What should I do?

Hahahha

I would say path of the Elk, it's has the primary chops of a minotaur as it can charge:

Primal Stampede
Charge forward, attacking all hostile creatures in your way. Deals 1d4+2 Bludgeoning damage and knocks targets Prone.
Available only when Raging.
Doesn't provoke Opportunity Attacks.

And it gets you some more movement speed incresing it by 4.5m. Should help with your tiny legs.



Otherwise, in a party with man melee companions you could go with Wolf, it's kinda cool to think on a barking gnome.

I concur, you also should wear Wapira's Crown. You WILL look awesome!

and maybe this.

YeAAAAH! I shall chruush alll long legs dare to step in my way!! Now I feel the POWER!

Used to play a barking gith barbarian, it was a weird run. Guess Lae'zel roll her eyes every time I did that xD

No thanks, I'ma proud NAKED deep gnome, [sing]my skin as colorful as the deepest lake, my beard as curly as the earthest drake, my bald as round as the biggest boo[/sing] Ok, anyway, I like my gnome underwear. It's funny, oh I mean handsome.

You should perhaps visit the regional employment agency (it's somewhere south-east of the Blighted Village, I heard) and look for a new job. Or go to a fitness studio with anabolic drugs lab attached (ask Ethel perhaps?) and grow you some muscles. If you insist to stay a Barbarian without abuse of chemical agents, I would perhaps choose Bear Heart and take the task of tanking, for which you don't need to do much damage and can use your impressive gnomish silhouette to frighten foes before they even attack. With 16 dex you also can use ranged weapons well during the long-standig time you run away from bigger warriors.

Range weapon sounds nice. Guess I will do some dagger throwing then, grab a shield and go path of eagle.

I tried that for a while, but I think pretty much every time I managed to create an opportunity to use diving attack I missed, which made my leaps onto enemies feel more ridiculous than impressive. So it may fit perfectly with your particular character concept .
